Sister, can I be a maid too?

"Don't shake it, don't shake it."

Jiang Yubai then remembered the important matter and urged:

"I sent Dad to buy groceries, and Mom should still be in the study. You two hurry up and get ready, and take this opportunity to go back first."

"oh oh."

.....

at the same time.

study.

Qin Huiyi's gaze lingered on the textbooks piled on the desk for a moment, and then fell on the three chairs placed side by side in front of the desk.

Even after the report card came out, she was still somewhat skeptical.

My lazy son... actually sits here and studies diligently every day?

The three kids had even made a pact to take the entrance exam for Linyi University together.

Tsk tsk tsk, it's good for young people to have some motivation~

Thinking of this, Qin Huiyi couldn't help but smile.

That girl, Xia, is indeed quite remarkable. She's pretty, a great cook, and very sensible—truly a rare find.

I just don't know if my son, that blockhead, can... hmm?

As Qin Huiyi was thinking, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a small box peeking out from under the pile of books.

She reached out and pushed aside a few textbooks, then took it out.

--medicine?

She looked down at the name of the medicine with some confusion:

"Torspirone..."

Qin Huiyi was taken aback at first, then her eyes widened suddenly.

Birth control pills?!

She hurriedly opened the medicine box to check, and after confirming that several pills were missing, a surge of anger welled up in her chest.

Well, well... I was just worrying about you, and you, without making a sound, have pulled off something big, haven't you?

Ren Jianxia hasn't even taken the college entrance exam yet!

No matter how much she let her son grow up freely, Qin Huiyi always kept one bottom line in mind: her son's character must never be compromised.

Jiang Yubai's current actions have clearly crossed the line that she would never allow.

Qin Huiyi took a deep breath, her face ashen, and turned to walk towards the bedroom.

She flung open the door, her voice blazing with anger:

"Jiang Yubai! You—"

The words came to an abrupt halt.

Jiang Yubai stood by the bed, staring at the door in horror, completely dumbfounded.

The two Lin sisters, who were originally thought to be in the next room, were both in their pajamas—Lin Tingwan had already gotten out of bed, while Lin Jianxia was still in the position of having one foot just sticking out of the blanket.

The four people looked at each other in bewilderment, and the room was deathly silent.

Chapter 244 Who Moved My Medicine?

In the ensuing silence, Qin Huiyi was the first to react.

Her gaze swept over the two sisters, finally settling on Jiang Yubai, and she spoke calmly:

"Jiang Yubai, come out with me for a moment."

After saying that, she turned and walked out of the bedroom.

Jiang Yubai finally snapped out of his daze and subconsciously looked to the side.

Lin Tingwan looked at the doorway and then at him, looking rather helpless, which was unusual for her.

Lin Jianxia was so frightened that she looked at him for help.

Jiang Yubai took a deep breath, gave them a reassuring look, and then walked out.

Although it reassured the two sisters, Jiang Yubai herself felt uncertain and anxious.

He was all too familiar with his mother's state.

If I can't answer the question later or hear something I'm not satisfied with, I'm afraid I'll get a beating from both husband and wife.

His parents would definitely whip him with a brass belt, making him spin like a top.

This person is genuinely angry.

As he stepped out of the room, Qin Huiyi stood not far away, arms crossed, staring at him.

Seeing her signal with her eyes, Jiang Yubai obediently closed the door.

"Explain things clearly," Qin Huiyi said simply.

Seeing her expression, Jiang Yubai didn't dare to dodge the question and honestly confessed:

"Since Xia and Wanwan's periods coincided, I was planning to make me breakfast, but I made her rest instead."

Seemingly surprised by the answer, Qin Huiyi's expression faltered for a moment:

"Period? Then how come she's in your bed?"

“Jian Xia was originally resting in the study,” Jiang Yubai answered truthfully. “Then Wanwan ran to my bedroom, and when Jian Xia came looking for someone, she thought my bed was comfortable, so she lay down with her.”

"...Are you making up a story to fool me?" Qin Huiyi frowned.

Jiang Yubai showed a helpless expression:

"How could I dare, Mom? You saw it yourself, the blankets in the study are still messy. You two saw Xia lying in there before you came."

Qin Huiyi looked at him for a few more seconds, and her tense expression relaxed slightly:

"Jianxia and Wanwan... are you having a hard time during your period?"

"Yes, it's Xia's old problem. She's taking both Chinese and Western medicine from doctors. She's doing alright last night though."

After Jiang Yubai finished answering, he hesitated for a few seconds.

"Mom... how did you know?"

"It's none of my business how I know."

Qin Huiyi subtly hid the medicine box behind her back, paused, and then couldn't help but ask:

"You're the one taking care of that girl during her period?"

"I wouldn't call it taking care of someone?" Jiang Yu thought for a moment, "It's just buying breakfast, giving out brown sugar water... and things like making hot water bottles."

Qin Huiyi was stunned for a moment, and then finally realized what was happening:

"So the hot water bottle you were holding when you opened the door for the two sisters?"

"...Otherwise what? Do you think I'm so weak in the middle of summer that I'd just fill a hot water bottle with water?"

Jiang Yubai stared blankly and complained.

Qin Huiyi was initially skeptical, but now that the clues had all come together, it was clearly much more credible than the previous deduction.

It's alright, as long as it's not what I expected.

After figuring it out, she finally relaxed, looked her son up and down, and a new question arose:

"Is this how you usually get along? And, seeing Xia and Wanwan sleeping in your bed... don't they mind at all?"

"Why should it be whether they mind or not?" Jiang Yubai's lips twitched. "Shouldn't you be asking me if I mind or not?"

Qin Huiyi didn't answer, but looked at her son with a subtle expression.

Heaven have mercy... I thought before...

Whether we'll be able to hold hands after the college entrance exam is another story...

Jiang Yubai felt uneasy under his gaze, hesitated for a moment, and then changed the subject:

"Speaking of which... Mom, what were you trying to ask me when you were so angry just now?"

That's strange. Just now, my mom was so aggressive, clearly there to settle scores with him, but after a few words, she became calm and peaceful.

Could it be that I really have a talent for talk therapy?

"It's nothing, just a small matter."

Qin Huiyi waved her hand, then her expression froze.

"Ouch...did I scare those two sisters just now?"

“That goes without saying,” Jiang Yubai finally dared to complain, “I thought you were going to do something else when you barged in like that.”

Seeing that he actually dared to talk back, Qin Huiyi glared at him:

"Isn't that all your fault? You saw Xia and Wanwan were clearly in your room, but you insisted they were doing something in the next room."

"Mom, can you please be reasonable? We're completely innocent. If I say this, won't you start to misunderstand?"

Jiang Yubai poured out his grievances:

"Besides, I had already planned it out. Dad will go buy groceries, you stay in the study, and I'll quickly take the two of them back to change their clothes before coming over."

"Who would have thought you'd come barging in so soon after sitting in your study for only a short while?"

"Alright, alright, stop talking nonsense with me," Qin Huiyi waved her hand. "Go and comfort those two sisters, don't get in my way."

Jiang Yubai hesitated, wanting to speak but holding back, and finally had no choice but to nod.

Fine, fine, what can I do? I'm the real son after all...

Seeing Jiang Yubai turn and go into the bedroom, Qin Huiyi took out the medicine box in her hand.

She stared at it for a few seconds, a look of amusement and exasperation on her face, then shook her head and went back into the study.
